But Cody Fendant seems to want the alpha and numeric fields extracted separately. The `m{\b ( [ab] \d+ \| \d+ [ab] ) \b }gx` regex requires a subsequent (albeit simple) step to achieve this: `c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -MData::Dump -le "my $string_three = 'foo bar [21a] plus (b23) baz bax'; my @string_three_results = $string_three =~ m{\b ( [ab] \d+ \| \d+ [ab +] ) \b }gx; dd \@string_three_results; " ["21a", "b23"]` [download] Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
